Where as Religion is the only reason we have most of the ancient texts we have since the monks copied them, your claim is patently false. In addition to the suffering being exclusively done by People often against the direct instructions of their religion’s teachings, perhaps you bias need a bit of fine tuning.
Religion is not remotely involved in anything a fundamentalist does except as their excuse.
How does this not apply to literature? Without religion people would still be brutally murdering each other, but they wouldn’t have written anything down without religion? How does that make sense.
Never stated anything of the sort. But then the fact that you obviously are unaware that there once was no printing press and all copies of any text we very expensive to make thus only the devotion of certain religious sects allowed us to have ancient written works. So it makes sense that you don’t understand the statement.
A good reverse example would be the old testament, which speaks openly of killing sodomites, but western cultures are by far the most progressive on gay rights; even the vatican itself is more tolerant than much of the world.
You know what I meant. Imagine if the list of fundamentalist psychos was the same length as the walked across the USA list, compared to the possible list of people who drive across.
Religion is a catalyst, an enabler of violence. It provides a framework, and a justification. This empowers those who would otherwise bite their tongues to act.
<yawns /> You have limited knowledge and experience thus must resort to childish insults in an attempt to compensate for your lack of wit. Study more out there.
You defaulted all the additional details I provided to “huhhhhh excuse!” Which is reductive and limiting. You earned what you got after repeated back and forth clarifications, and the votes solidify it.
I’m not offering wit. So I’m not worried about your perception of my quantity of it.
Please review your post and look up the words which are all defined such that they fit the broad category of “excuse”. Your enemy here is your ignorance and not my comments.
People abuse other People. Concepts and ideas do not. Religion is not remotely involved in anything a fundamentalist does except as their excuse.
It adds nothing to the world except an excuse for suffering.

yup. Did you have a point?
How does this not apply to literature? Without religion people would still be brutally murdering each other, but they wouldn’t have written anything down without religion? How does that make sense.

Can’t take a book edited for political reasons literally. Example: the religious prohibition to pork was about Cholera and not an edict from on high.
It is the vehicle of their abuse.
You ain’t walking across the USA, but you can easily drive it in 3 days.
Not relevant as it is just their excuse and beard, in no way the vehicle.
Oh, and you certainly can walk across the USA as People have done so. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_people_who_have_walked_across_the_United_States

So, an excuse, exactly as I stated. Thanks for thinking it through.
Yawn. You have limited abilities for reasoning. Good luck out there!
